I have a question, I am experiencing random freeze where my screen will just freeze, will not respond to my touches, I was on mi7 rooted it using Rdlv, then used the mobile odin method to upgrade to upgrade it to mj7 in the hope that, these freezes goes away. Afraid that the issues is still there.
From what i have seen so far these freezes happens when my signal bar is fluctuating.
i have done numerous factory resets and re flashed firmware too, yet the issue doesn't seems to go away.
Can someone please help diagnose the exact cause of this. Seems like some other people are also having the same issues

If you are still rooted you can flash this it might help https://www.dropbox.com/s/artjwhxli313f7n/V3stockui-1.zip
Hi although I am rooted, I am on stock recovery. I was wondering if I can push this into system apk and set permission. You have given me stock ui or its a new version of stock ui

Yeah it's the latest one but don't know if you can push it into system i think it's only for custom recovery so i wouldn't risk it just in case there may be a small chance it will trip knox
Knox will only Get triggered if you had custom recovery of try yo root if the bootloader is Mj7.

Do you think it's the system ui which is the cause.

Is there any way to know who the culprit is

May well be if not it could be a fault with the phone
I am almost confirmed now the freezes occur when the Phone's signal fluctuates. Not sure what is the dependency of that with the screen. Strange thing is, you can lock and unlock your screen, touch works fine, but it's after that for some time. Can some one please help me. This is driving me nuts

Hello guys.... this is one of my first posts here so go easy on me...
Trying to get to the bottom of an issue I'm experiencing on my Nexus 4 16GB after updating.
So I had been postponing updating to Lollipop for months... (was still on 4.4.4 stock cuz I didn't quite like the new UI) and decided to update Sunday (Aug 10th) morning. Big mistake, apparently.
The OTA 5.0.1 update made my phone become unstable, lag, and crash at random. Constantly get "X ins't responding", where X can be anything from Launcher to System UI to Chrome! Regular google apps are generally non-responsive and supper laggy.
For Ex: Can't open Play Store, the app tries to open but all I see is a white app window,same with Photos, or maps... ironically Whatsapp and certain other non-google apps are opening.
So I currently can't even use my N4 much, I'm trying to find out a what's causing this and if I need to revert the upgrade or flash a ROM or something,
My 4.4.4 was rooted FWIW, and now it's not. Not sure if it's helpful, but I have about 1.3GB free internal storage, and 1GB free memory when I run. So I don't think the issues are being caused by an app I installed or some service running wild. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You could try flashing a factory image of 5.0.1 and see if that helps.

Thanks. Yeah, this seems to have fixed it. Factory flashed it with the stock 5.0.1. Had to wipe it clean but a working phone is a working phone.
So it seems that if you're unlocked and rooted, you're shouldn't install OTA updates?
I read somewhere here (can't find the link rite now) that after 5.0, the OTA updates don't work right, if it detects the bootloader has been unlocked and/or you're rooted? Is this correct?

You might try upgrading to 5.1.1 LMY48I, it is all the bug fixes for 5.+, and should be more stable.
Is it possible to "un-root" a phone without having to flash firmware? For example I'd like to use Samsung Pay which won't work because of a root check BUT would like to keep the debloated and optimized U ROM along with the non-provisioned WIFI-tethering, VVM, etc. that I originally rooted for. So is this possible? I understand that I will still be on the eng. boot kernel but that's fine.

You can try the unroot option in the SU app but I doubt it will work because the files are pushed to the system by ADB. I could be wrong though.
This is one thing I have been curious about as well. I just want to make a few changes to files that require root, then remove root to keep my Samsung Pay working but the changes still saved in place. I feel like someone has tried it, I just haven't ran across the post yet...
I'd like to keep the U firmware while having all of the Verizon essentials but without root. Even optimized with all battery savings, I'm getting heat just using chrome and having more battery drainage than when I was unrooted. I read it's something dealing with the eng.boot since it's not made for daily use.
So would it be possible just to factory reset U firmware and have the necessary Verizon apps to install afterwards? I'm guessing root isn't that beneficial for me at this point if it just drains my battery since I usually would have 3 hours of SOT by 50%, and now it's only 2 hours by 50%.

You can install most of the Verizon apps through the Play Store except for VVM, which requires you to write into /system and thus requires root and thus the eng. kernel. Also you won't be be able to patch the HD Calling feature without root as well. IF you need these features, then the eng. kernel is a must have in order to obtain root to install.
If not, you're good to go. I'm sure there's probably something else I'm missing.

Then it would already be pretty great to simply get a debloated stock Verizon firmware. Because I was amazed at how much free space I had for internal storage once I flashed the U firmware and the v15 debloat fix zip. If I could go all of that without the battery drainage that I'm pretty sure is coming from root itself.

Your battery drainage is due to the engineering kernel, not necessarily from root. It is not an optimized kernel at all. When I was rooted, the phone was 6 degrees C warmer at idle than stock and would lag. This is with all the V15 fixes from the S7 thread. And heat kills battery life.
I'm sure someone could do this. I'm from the verizon flat s7 forums and a person is suggesting getting on the rooted firmware then from that installing a debloated stock rom from there without root but with various cooked in optimizations. It's not out yet but I'm waiting to see what comes of it. Root hasn't settled enough for me to run it all the time just yet.

That's actually perfect, when possible. :0
Could you not just apply the fixes and unroot or flashing will remove these?

I rooted my phone with the correct methods as in the threads below mine, and I purposely havent updated my phone for a while, just in case the root would only work for older system versions.
I'm just curious to know if, now that I'm rooted, is it safe to update to PE1, and will it fix the Android System battery drain? I've also downloaded all the root fixes too, as well as the Debloat, so my original System Updates app doesn't work anymore.
I would love to get just some answers from the pros on this before possibly bricking or boot looping my amazing phone.
Thanks!
*bump* Hate to bump, but does anyone know this question? After flashing all the fixes, I notice my battery still kinda goes down somewhat fast when in use and sometimes a bit fast when the screen is off.

I don't know if PE1 fixes the drain but it can be rooted and downgraded if needed. Same thing for the newest PF2 firmware I have here.
I have the same problem idk what to do if PE1 fixes the battery drain I'll gladly update if not I might have to go back to stock and just stay on it unless someone can find a way to unlock bootloader so we can get custom roms (only reason I wanted root tbh)
So I can just take the update now, WHILE rooted and I'll be fine? Will I have to re-root after the update is done, or do I just continue using it as normal?
Will I have to re-flash the new fixes for the PE1 version and stuff? Since I have flashed the old NON-PE1 fixes, will this brick my phone when updating to PE1?
Hello,
I have installed the android 6 to my p8 lite dual sim phone. C432b574 - I got the OTA update recently but it didn't update, and others told me to update manually, so I did.
I updated from b170.
The problem is the battery started heating up like never before with normal usage. Besides that when I checked the consumption levels it showed that hardware used 95-99% and softwares used the remaining. It is unnatural because I use the phone like I used to use with lollipop. I had been using it for 2 weeks now.
I tried wiping cache partition, updated all of the apps and someone told me the google services may screw up with the new system so I deleted those too, the problem still on.
Should I take it to the repair shop for a battery exchange? Maybe mine is faulty?
Regards, Ghostmuffin - thanks in advancew
I've also had those problems, the high hardware consumption is probably a first time error. For me, the one's causing havoc are the Google Play Services, actually you didn't remove anything, you can't remove them without basically turning your phone useless. Time to consider a deodexed ROM and using amplify (requires Xposed)

I could remove the updates.
And you installed deodexed update or how did you manage to solve it then?
I'll wait for other replies before rooting the phone.
I have never rooted a phone before, one thing is not clear for me, can I install a custom android 6 while it is currently on the phone or should I downgrade it first? The other question is, does it wipe my data?

Well I worry because with the heating up the battery life is reduced. And I wonder if it can be solved because in general the marshmallow is much better than lollipop

Well my device also heats up when playing heavy games like gta san andreas, modern strike,asphalt 8 etc.... I think this is due to octa core processor. Which generates more heat as compare to quad core. I haven't used any octa core devices other than this so might be wrong.

Removing updates fixes nothing, as it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow itself, and yes, I downloaded a custom ROM, it's not a very advanced procedure but you should be careful. You should install it over the current ones, making wipes with a custom recovery, and yes, it will wipe your data, however you can back it up from recovery.

From my own experience, it seems like it's a wakelock problem. And using Xposed on a stock Rom broke calls, so that's why I was suggesting it

Yes, but they're much more customizable, as I said, if it's a wakelock problem, Amplify will solve it. I recommend Sokoban's ROMS and Nautilus

Well, I give it a try, I can return to stock lollipop if it doesn't help after all. I don't think a battery extender will solve the problem, though.
